F-15EX Dev Discussion Thread

I think they should remove the amg130 from the IA and give it ROCKS instead with both anti radiation and EO variants

ROCKS, AIR LORA and RAMPAGE
Because some russian style standoff missiles would be nice
Can’t forget the popeye either, that’s loooong overdue

Lora is a stretch tbh
But there’s a high chance for rocks if we cope hard enough
and rampage will only be added when US gets agm142

Of all the missiles they added the Delilah that nobody asked for

It’s basically just a grom 1 so wouldn’t be too surprised to see it added when that thing comes back

Yeah literally the slowest and weakest warhead :sob:

Honestly it’s a very good time to add them since they added gcs1 we know they can also add rocks and Lora bc of terminal EO guidance

It can’t have 4xAim-9M and 12xAim-120 because the Aim-9m clip is in the Aim-120 holder; the reason it can carry 4xAim-9x is because they have smaller fins

4x 9M, from 2 9M on the outboard pylons, not in the MRML quad rack

(Again, probably. That’s the only way to fulfil the “16 missile” but keep it to 12 AIM-120 max)

Oh boy

bro gonna prove that manufacturer itself is an idiot that doesn’t know full capabilities of its own product


real

i really hope this is not the final model and they improve this things flight performance. Pilots are quoting as saying “its like comparing a 1960’s mustang to a modern 2025 mustang”. Boeing themselves have said its “on the edge of super maneuverability” with “raptor like performance” and this thing is just a glorified F-104 with a ton of missiles that loses to the F-15E and F-15C in a dogfight when its supposed to be the most maneuverable eagle. i know a lot of that has to do with the digital FBW that allows pilots to push the aircraft to its limits (and thats not modeled in-game) but at least hope they can compensate for that factor somehow by just increasing its flight performance. because besides speed and missiles this thing is NOT good at all. so much for the “most maneuverable eagle” when it’s critical speed warning is at like 230kts and has worse sustained turn than the GE.

https://youtu.be/BdefTrIN5ww?si=uNAIF-oJGJdhUKGn the pilot did not mention anything about its turn performance/maneuverability.

That’s the fully cleared operational amount. Boeing themselves have shown advanced eagles with inner hard point MRML loaded with AMRAAM

yeah, read my thing again. never did quote the pilot saying that 🤦‍♂️

you just conveiniently missed the part where he said “still a mustang , drives similar but has a lot more power , handles slightly differently”

okay, again. one im quoting a pilot, the other im quoting the manufacturer. reading comprehension aint your strong suit huh.

where did u find this “raptor like performance” quote ?

Quote from Boeing during its debut performance at RIAT airshow

not saying it should be on-par with the raptor. just that it should be significantly better than AT LEAST the E model. and noticeably better than the F-15C model… which again… its not

even in the airshows, you can visibly see it moves like no eagle before it

May I ask if the f15ex can carry the incendiary bomb BLU-27/B? I really need this type of ammunition

how do u think F15C GE with a FBW would compete against F15EX with a FBW (assume they have a similar FBW) ? in ITR vs STR.
